Countess of Brecknock Hospice Trust

The Countess of Brecknock Hospice provides respite and palliative care to adults suffering from life-limiting illness who live in Andover and its surrounding villages, together with comfort and support for their families, friends and carers. Patients are admitted to the inpatient unit or can be cared for in their own homes through our Hospice at Home service. More than 1000 individuals and their families have used our services over the last year.

Although an NHS Hospice, the hospice was built with the generosity of the local community. In 1998, an independent charity, the Countess of Brecknock Hospice Trust, was created to financially support the work of the hospice. The charitable trust raised the £4.2m to build and equip a new 10 bed inpatient unit which opened in April 2020.

As well as supporting running costs, the charity funds an additional Community Nurse, the Hospice at Home overnight on-call and call out service; Day Centre programme, specialist equipment purchases and repairs, as well as patient and staff support and welfare.

The Hospice is hugely reliant on voluntary donations and needs the continued support of the community so it can provide the exceptionally high standard of services and care for which it is known. Put simply, without the support of individuals, local companies and organisations, the Hospice won’t be there to help when it is needed.
